FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Nelson's Pillar was a large granite column capped by a statue of Horatio Nelson,
erected in the centre of O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland, in 1809. It was
severely damaged by explosives in March 1966 and demolished a week later. The
monument was erected after the euphoria following Nelson's victory at the Battle
of Trafalgar in 1805. It proved a popular tourist attraction but provoked
aesthetic and political controversy, and there were frequent calls for it to be
removed, or replaced with a memorial to an Irish hero. Nevertheless it remained.
Its destruction just before the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising was, on
the whole, well received by the Irish public. The police could identify no one
responsible; when in 2000 a former republican activist admitted planting the
explosives, he was not charged. Relics of the Pillar are found in various Dublin
locations, and its memory is preserved in numerous works of Irish literature.

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Sid Meier

The Civilization franchise is composed primarily of a series of turn-based
strategy video games and associated media. The core of the franchise is a series
of six titles for personal computers, released between 1991 and 2016. Sid Meier
(pictured) developed Civilization (1991), the first game in the series and has
had creative input for most of its sequels. The official titles of the
Civilization series, core games, and most spin-offs include his name, as in Sid
Meier's Civilization. The first game in the series was created by MicroProse
co-founder Meier and Bruce Shelley. MicroProse continued the series for several
years, but beginning with Civilization III (2001) through the latest title,
Civilization VI (2016), it has been developed by Firaxis Games. In addition to
video games, the franchise includes several board games, artbooks, and music
albums. (Full list...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Gerty Cori (1896–1957) was a Czech-American biochemist. She was the third woman
to win a Nobel Prize in science, and the first woman to be awarded the Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for her significant role in the "discovery of
the course of the catalytic conversion of glycogen". Born in Prague, Cori grew
up at a time when women were marginalized in science and allowed few educational
opportunities, but she nonetheless gained admittance to medical school. With her
husband Carl Ferdinand Cori and the Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay, she
received the Nobel Prize in 1947. This photograph from the Smithsonian
Institution Archives, taken in the same year, shows Cori and her husband working
in their laboratory.
